    WOW such a cool idea! What I would do is cut the bags into strips and tie the ends together. Then get one of those monster crochet hooks and crochet away until you got your rug. Size Q hook I think is what you probably will need and you can learn how to do a simple chain stich or double from online or any craft book. Good luck and way to recycle! STL

    My wife’s grandmother made those for us when we first married. She would use bread sacks, trash bags, any kind of plastic wrap. My wife says to cut the plastic in strips and crochet the same as you would with cloth. Another neat thing to do is crochet yarn around wire hangers, they are great for women’s slacks and blouses chrlekcchifsfankcmo
